The Bulldogs have made one change ahead of the competition’s first Wildcard Final against Collingwood on Friday night at the MCG.

Tim English has been included in the side, returning after a knee injury suffered three weeks ago.

The ruckman replaces Lachy Carmichael, who made his debut in the round 23 draw against the Blues.

Aaron Naughton has been passed fit to take on the Pies, with Jordan Croft, Carmichael and Luke Cleary named as emergencies for the clash.

The game begins at 7:40pm and will be broadcast live on Channel 7, Fox Footy and Kayo.

The winner of the match will progress to an elimination final against either Adelaide or Geelong next weekend.
